I took my grandkids to the PEZ Museum in Burlingame, CA. today. I learned the name PEZ comes from the German word for peppermint...PfeffEerminZ [Smile]

Graham...PEZ candies and dispensers originated in Europe in 1950. http://www.burlingamepezmuseum.com/

I used to eat these candies when I was a kid. They were sold (and I suppose still are) in small kind of dispensers made like toys that children enjoy. So, you missed something, Graham :-)

That's right Dominique...and they are as popular as they ever were here in the US. I was hoping to see one of the dispensers in the shape of a projector or film reel...but no luck [Frown]
